I appreciate the input, Dr. Chien. I just dealt with the pain during the day and used the opiods to knock me out for a while at night, simply to get some sleep. Thankfully, I seem to be on the mend, as I haven't taken any pain meds (rx or otc) for about 4 days now. Although I still experience...

I had a feeling there was more to it than what I had interpreted, but decided to go with the devil I know. (While applying for my Special Issuance, the FAA saw my shoulder surgery I listed as a dr. visit a couple years back, and reminded me not to fly while taking the Hydrocodone I had been...

This is not a pleasant experience. I ended up going back to the dr. office just to get another set of eyes on this, as the blistering and pain kept getting worse. She said to finish the 7 day Valtrex prescription and then asked if I wanted a prescription for Gabapentin, which is an anti seizure...

I don't think anyone was asking for sympathy, just advice regarding prescriptions and treatments.

I'm glad you're still around to tell about it. Not too many people can consider themselves fortunate to get shingles

Hey thanks everybody for your input. The doctor confirmed it looks like shingles (awaiting test results) but started me on Valtrex. Props to Mrs. Mayhem for recognizing it (she had it several years ago) and ordering me to the clinic asap, the doctor said we caught it very early and doesn't...

Hey all, I'm waiting to be seen at an urgent care clinic with what appears to be shingle symptoms. I searched the forum and there hasn't been much posted lately so I figured I'd check. Are there any prescriptions/treatments I need to decline? I'm ok with being grounded until I'm better but I...

OP here. I want to thank you ALL for taking the time to respond. You've helped me get some clarification on my training and more importantly, my mindset towards it. Over time, I realized that the unrealistic expectations I placed on myself have (predictably) led to disappointment and...

I hated soloing simply because I wasn't confident in my abilities. I wasn't scared during the flight, as I just kept telling myself to stick with my training and was honestly, too busy to be frightened. Afterwards, I chalked my survival up to dumb luck that nothing bad happened. As for why I'm...

I hated my solo experiences simply because I felt more lucky than good and luck eventually, runs out.

I grew up flying with relatives who are no longer here. Most of my first year was consumed by the medical process and I flew sparingly during that time. The motivation exists, I love the idea of flying but my confidence is shot. I'll do well for a few lessons and then out of nowhere, make a...

Hey fellow students, For 2 years..I've been through 4 CFIs, a lengthy/expensive S.I. medical process, and countless cancelations due to all the usual reasons. I've soloed twice and hated it, now I'm prepping for my cross country training and I'm just not enjoying this anymore. I don't want to...

Unless I misunderstood OPs post, that would be a bit overkill for a piece of shop furniture..

Find a good metal fabrication shop in your area that will do exactly what you want.

OP, It doesn't matter what you or your AME thinks, if you were diagnosed with a condition, it's right there in your history and ACCORDING TO THE FAA, YOU HAVE THAT CONDITION. Trust me, I have a friend who did the same thing you're thinking about doing, basically pencil whipped his Med...

Congrats Ahmad. I did my first solo flight back around Thanksgiving and did well. Standard 3 laps around the pattern, my first attempt didn't look or feel right so I decided to go around, I followed that with 2 of the smoothest landings I've had up to that point. I was excited after it was over...
